DiMarzio® Super Distortion® Pickup
Standard Spaced – Black/Cream
Iconic High‑Output Tone for Rock & Metal
The DiMarzio Super Distortion is one of the most influential humbuckers ever made, responsible for shaping countless classic rock and metal tones since the 1970s.
Designed to drive valve amps harder, this standard‑spaced version delivers thick mids, powerful lows and cutting highs that stay articulate under high gain. Finished with a striking black/cream zebra-style cover, it blends vintage attitude with unmistakable stage presence.
Massive Output, Classic Character
With its ceramic magnet and overwound coils, the Super Distortion pushes your amp into rich saturation without losing punch.
Perfect for upgrading darker guitars or adding extra muscle to single-cut or superstrat-style instruments, it remains a go-to choice for players chasing sustain, aggression and authority.
This pickup is ideal for:
- Rock and metal guitarists wanting higher output
- Bridge-position upgrades on humbucker-equipped guitars
- Players using valve or high-gain amplifiers
- Leads that demand sustain and harmonic richness
- Guitars that sound thin or lack midrange punch
